One of the most talked-about ads from Super Bowl Lviii was Verizon‘s commercial featuring Beyoncé. The pop icon used the moment to announce a new album and drop two new songs, and she also sparked a separate debate: Does she actually stream on Twitch?
In the ad, actor Tony Hale challenges Beyoncé to test the speed of Verizon’s 5G internet. She responds by firing up a Twitch account called IAmSlayoncé, where she streams without any lag or buffering.
As it turns out, the IAmSlayoncé account is totally real. It has zero past broadcasts, so Beyoncé may be waiting for her perfect moment to go live.
Sasha Fierce hasn’t confirmed her gamer credentials, but a different Sasha chimed in on the Verizon ad. Actress Sasha Grey defended Beyoncé’s unusual streaming setup. “Haters will say her fingers aren’t even on Wasd,” Grey wrote. “But it’s ok,...

Being one-of-one, the number one, the only one has emerged as Beyoncé’s most prominent creative ethos. This year, she became the most decorated artist in Grammys history and completed the most ambitious tour of her career, bringing her celebration of Black and queer culture on her Renaissance album to stadiums across the world. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift reached an idiosyncratic tier of cultural prominence in her own right, breaking chart records and delivering an extravaganza of her own on the career-spanning stadium run, the Eras tour. Both artists have been...

Another minute, another few early highlights from Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour opener in Stockholm, Sweden, today, May 10. This time, dancing robot arms and brilliant era-bending mash-ups.
During her performance of “Cozy,” Beyoncé showed off some of the tour’s outrageous and elaborate stagecraft and props. This bit involved two swinging robot arms outfitted with two big rectangles that perfectly framed and moved with Beyoncé as she sauntered through the Renaissance highlight.

The Renaissance world tour kicked off today in Stockholm, Sweden, with Beyoncé billed as the opening act, main act, and encore act. To be fair, she has two decades’ worth of ground to cover, which she fittingly acknowledged by opening the show with “Dangerously in Love,” the title track from her debut solo album released 20 years ago. It also marked her first live performance of the song in over a decade.

RuPaul’s Drag Race has entertained audiences around the world since its debut in 2009, and the series has only continued to explode all over the globe with international spin-offs. Every episode of Drag Race culminates in a lip sync battle between two (or more) queens to some beloved hit songs. But throughout all those years, Beyoncé songs were notably absent from the lip syncs. In recent years, however, Bey has become a more common lip sync artist.

Spike Lee is weighing in on Beyoncé losing at the Grammys for the top award of the night, Album of the Year.
“I’m not the male president of the Bey Hive, but I love and support Beyoncé. Her album is amazing. I know she’s won multiple Grammys, but four times nominated for album of the year and she’s lost every time? No disrespect to those artists like Adele or Harry Styles who won. It’s not their fault, but that’s some straight-up bulls**t,” Lee told The Guardian in an interview.
